material also will prevent corrosion. MoparGasket Sealant is available in a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4 oz./16 oz. can
w/applicator.
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET AND SEALER APPLICATION
MoparGasket Maker material should be applied sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant to one
gasket surface. Be certain the material surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can easily be wiped off.
Components should be torqued in place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel is recommended during
assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopar
Engine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket material should be applied in a continuous bead approximately 3
mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing,a3.17mmor6.35mm(1/8in.
or 1/4 in.) drop is placed in the center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant may be removed with a shop
towel. Components should be torqued in place while the sealant is still wettothetouch(within10minutes).The
usage of a locating dowel is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopar
Gasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely over both
surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a can w/applicator can
be brushed on evenly over the sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can shouldbeusedonengineswithmulti-
layer steel gaskets.
ENGINE GASKET SURFACE PREPARATION
To ensure engine gasket sealing, proper surface prep-
aration must be performed, especially with the use of
aluminum engine components and multi-layer steel
cylinder head gaskets.
Neveruse the following to clean gasket surfaces:
Metal scraper
Abrasive pad or paper to clean cylinder block
and head
High speed power tool with an abrasive pad or a
wire brush (1)
NOTE: Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets
require a scratch free sealing surface.
Only use the following for cleaning gasket surfaces:
Solvent or a commercially available gasket
remover
Plastic or wood scraper (3)
Drill motor with 3M Roloc™ Bristle Disc (white or yellow) (2)
CAUTION: Excessive pressure or high RPM (beyond the recommended speed), can damage the sealing sur-
faces. The mild (white, 120 grit) bristle disc is recommended. If necessary, the medium (yellow, 80 grit) bris-
tle disc may be used on cast iron surfaces with care.
HYDROSTATIC LOCKED ENGINE
When an engine is suspected to be hydrostatically locked, regardless of what caused the problem, the following
steps should be used.
CAUTION: DO NOT use starter motor to rotate the engine, severe damage may occur.
1. Inspect air cleaner, induction system and intake manifold to ensure system is dry and clear of foreign material.
2. Remove negative battery cable.
3. Place a shop towel around the spark plugs when removing them from the engine. This will catch any fluid that
may possibly be in the cylinder under pressure.
4. With all spark plugs removed, rotate engine crankshaft using a breaker bar and socket.

RAIL - FUEL
DESCRIPTION
The fuel injector rail is used to mount the fuel injectors to the engine.
OPERATION
High pressure from the fuel pump is routed to the fuel rail. The fuel rail then supplies the necessary fuel to each
individual fuel injector.
A quick-connect fitting with a safety latch clip is used to attach the fuel linetothefuelrail.
The fuel rail is not repairable.
CAUTION: The left and right sections of the fuel rail are connected with either a flexible connecting hose, or
joints. Do not attempt to separate the rail halves at these connecting hoseor joints. Due to the design of
the connecting hose or joint, it does not use any clamps. Never attempt to install a clamping device of any
kind to the hose or joint. When removing the fuel rail assembly for any reason, be careful not to bend or
kink the connecting hose or joint.

WARNING: The fuel system is under constant pressure even with engine off. Before servicing fuel rail, fuel
system pressure must be released.
CAUTION: The left and right fuel rails are replaced as an assembly. Do not attempt to separate rail halves
at connector tubes. Due to design of tubes, it does not use any clamps. Neverattempt to install a clamping
device of any kind to tubes. When removing fuel rail assembly for any reason, be careful not to bend or
kink tubes.
